The Sconeheads - Larry Grayson is a Gestapo Agent EP


Label: Nailed On; Year: 1999; Format: Vinyl EP

Larry Grayson was a well known English TV presenter, famous for hosting BBC's series 'The Generation Game'. I would only assume that the Sconeheads were not particularly fond of Mr. Grayson and made a Gestapo Agent out of him. All three songs on this EP were released posthumously and were originally recorded in 1981. The title track is my personal winner on this EP as it is an excellent primitive pogo smasher with really aggressive drumming, just loving it. The other two tracks are by no means bad, and I would describe them as sing along drunken punk rock in a real DIY way. This EP will appeal to people who like bands such as The Shapes for instance. Not an absolute must, but definitely worth discovering.
